Pull Unique Values with Advanced Filter

Pull Unique Values with Advanced Filter
 
Though there are many ways of removing duplicates, I just wanted to share a use of Advanced filter for same.
We can use advanced filter to pull non duplicate items from a column(s).
For this go to Data tab and then click on Advanced.
A dialog box will open. Here choose the option of Copy to another location. In list Range box, mention the range from which we want to extract unique values. And in Copy to box, the place where we want our unique list to appear.
Then check the box of unique records only. Now click on ok.
And we have now two lists the original along new one having just unique items.
Note: There is no link between original data and filtered data so in case original data changes, the advanced filter must be run again.
